Sagittarius (2001)
by Ayala Moriel

Opens with an anise note and spicy mace. Then Sagittarius moves toward a fruitiness that I cannot explain. It is deep, spicy, woody, tart, and fruity. Somehow I cannot get a clear read on the listed notes. This doesn't usually happen to me. Champaca, hyacinth, and carnation provide the floral heart. Perhaps the fruitness comes from here, and from the black tea in the base. Fir and spikenard are basenotes, possibly giving it woodiness and sweetness, respectively. This is a highly unusual fragrance that must be worn to be appreciated. It is probably not the best on me, but I could imagine it working in a big way on the right person.
